You might want to consider changing it to Mike so that you fit in.

There are lots of Rob's but they are up North...don't know why.....probably a climate thing.

Driving there from SLC is kinda boring but only in spots. shades.gif


Kinda boring drive in Utah eh. I will be traveling through scenic Iowa, Nebraska, North Texas and maybe Oklahoma or Missouri. For more than a thousand miles it will not vary more than about 200 feet from 800 ft above sea level. I pity the fool who has to drive through Utah into Canyon Lands. poke.gif
Rick will be doing the same, but in far less time. laugh.gif Hope car and driver are up to it.

I remember driving out to Utah from Maryland - we'd lash the wheel and sleep for a few hours driving through Nebraska.... kinda like my jr. high school girlfriend - straight and flat.

I will probably change the oil and pack some spare parts and a jump pack. Maybe some blankets for the high desert of Kansas and beyond. I may leave on the Monday before. I figure my back is good for only about 5-600 miles in a day. So in a straight line open unregulated highway 500 miles is about 10 hrs for me. Plus any stops for gas and food. I notice they use these milk jugs on trailer park boys to save time. But i don't drink milk. beer3.gif

No problem. The order deadline is April 1st.

The cost is $20 for the shirt plus $5 for postage.
I will send you a PM with payment details.
